"Mansa Musa: ''The Golden Reign Of Mali’s Emperor"

Mansa Musa, the 14th-century emperor of the Mali Empire, is often regarded as the richest person in history. He ruled from 1312 to 1337, overseeing a vast West African empire that thrived on gold, salt, and trade. Under his reign, Mali became one of the largest producers of gold in the world—at a time when gold was the global standard of wealth. His 1324 pilgrimage to Mecca—Hajj—cemented his legend. With a caravan reportedly comprising tens of thousands of servants, soldiers, and camels carrying hundreds of pounds of gold, Musa distributed immense wealth along his route through Cairo and Medina. The sudden influx of gold into these regions caused inflation that took years to stabilize. But Mansa Musa wasn’t just rich—he was a great builder. He transformed Timbuktu into a center of learning, commissioning mosques and universities, including the legendary Sankore University. His legacy endures not just in wealth, but in the cultural and intellectual flourishing of West Africa. #trtafrika #mali #africalegends
